By using the setup wizard, cross over output gains and post cross over parametric EQ settings

are set to match your system. The Auto-EQ can be used to adjust your system to compensate

for room effects, and adjust the response of the entire system to your liking. After allowing

Auto EQ to “pink the room” your system will sound tighter. The low end will have more def-

inition, the mids will be more intelligible, and the highs can be tamed. Here are two things to

look for to get the best performance from the Auto-EQ.

Look out for Modes

Some speaker and RTA microphone positions will result in certain frequencies canceling out.

The resulting modes can not be corrected with equalization. The Auto-EQ does not detect

modes in the frequency response, so may try to boost a band to compensate for a mode with

out positive affect. You may be able to see if a lifted band is a mode by manually adjusting a

lifted EQ band - if no change in the EQ is perceived, you probably are seeing a mode in your

frequency response. To reduce the effect of this mode, try different microphone positions and

adjust the location of your speakers, then re-pink the room for a more effectual Graphic EQ

adjustment.

Adjust Cross Over Output Gains

If your system setup or the response you have chosen results in the Auto-EQ lifting or cutting

a number of consecutive bands of the Graphic EQ, you can adjust the level of the associated

cross over output gain to match the average boost or cut in the graphic EQ and re-pink your

room. This time, the adjustment of the Graphic EQ bands will be less “heavy handed” and the

system will sound better having fewer phase problems and a lower noise floor than a more

aggressively adjusted Graphic EQ. With the rest of your system properly adjusted, the Auto EQ

can compensate for room resonance and adjust to suit personal taste without large excursions

in the Graphic EQ bands.
